“Nobody else knows what they are doing either.” I read this quote about six years ago when I was in college.
I lived through college life without any __1__.When professors said it was time to hand in my homework, I handed it in.When I was told that I hadn’t enough __2__ to get my degree, I studied hard to __3__ examinations to complete several courses.
One day, I was having dinner with some classmates.One said suddenly, “I plan to buy a __4__ within three years after graduation.”
I almost __5__, “Really?Do you know how __6__ it is to buy one house?”
He said leisurely, “Mortgage(抵押贷款).”
Another added, “Great! I __7__ to pass the examination of Chartered Financial Analyst and get the certificate within five years after graduation.”
I just seemed to hear something __8__.
I __9__ like this way.I worked at a bar.Unhappily! Every day, I got up hurriedly and got on the bus to work.After work, I slept, again and again.I didn’t know why I led such a __10__ life that I had __11__ wanted, and where my life would __12__.
Like 90% of my peers, I still had no __13__ what I wanted to do with my life or who I wanted to become.At the exact same time Instagram was becoming really big.I started __14__ bloggers and world travelers who seemed to have it all together.How had they __15__ it out?What had they been given that I hadn’t?
We were totally __16__;the only thing __17__ us was that they had plans or __18__, and they had taken action.All of a sudden, I came down to earth, __19__ that if I took things into my own hands, I would figure it out.I began to think my __20__ and just do something.Then three years later, I became a freelance writer.
